Re: Incident involving Tom Boyd and Zaine Cordy - Statement

I couldnt really care less if the club wants to keep it all in house. Do we really need to know everything?

Its not effecting on on field performance so it doesnt really bother me.

I have no problem with that, I don't really care about two boys getting in a fight after having a bellyful on Saturday night.

It's more that the club were treating us like idiots.

I don't see the fuss frankly.

As with any player pressing for selection it's a combination of individual form, continuity, whether there's a spot based on the form of others and - in this instance - very mild attitudinal issues which appear to have been dealt with internally.

None of that's revelatory. We all assume Boyd's going to be in the squad sooner rather than later, if not imminently. I'm happy for the club to keep it vague for now to avoid feeding the increasingly agitated grubs which is exactly what I think they're doing.

Boyd will be back soon and every solid contribution he makes as we build towards finals will feel as satisfying as watching hidden footage of Bevo repeatedly flushing a loo on Brownlow night with one hand whilst helping Purple's head into the bowl with the other.

You train a bunch of strapping blokes to tackle, bump and knock each other around all day. What do we expect?
I wish there was a counter voice brave enough to battle the wowsers in Melbourne media.

As Bevo said today if his kids are naughty he doesn't go and tell the neighbours.

I liked that statement.

T Boyd will be alright. His 4 goals in the VFL on the weekend is a good sign. This is a setback and a lot of players have had setbacks in the past. Tom now needs to focus fully on playing good footy and getting back into the side.

I dont see how they're treating us as idiots by trying to protect the players.

Yep. I loved hearing him say that. We dont need to know everything that goes on at the club

By telling us stories that make no sense at the smallest inspection.

Reminds me of an Inside Amy Schumer sketch 'Football Town Nights' where a new football coach brings in a controversial 'no rape' rule.

"How do I get through to you boys that football isn't about rape?! It's about violently dominating anyone that stands between you and what you want! Now, you gotta get yourself into the mindset that you are gods! That you are entitled to this! That other team? They ain't just gonna lay down and give it to you! YOU GOTTA GO OUT THERE AND TAKE IT!"

I haven't been across everything, what was this story?

The club statement in the OP is fairly vague. I had a lot more questions by the time I'd finished reading it.

Wayne Carey believes the punch on was about how much Toyd is getting relative to his team mates who are outperforming him.

Why wouldn't players question why they're getting a fifth of a guys wage when he has contributed next to nothing?

Wayne Carey picked up on a rumour early on in the piece. The incident has nothing to do with what Boyd is on and what players may or may not have been ribbing him about. Wayne is just another dickhead not checking his facts.
